Developing a safety net through Prayer

Over the years I have been informed and made aware of many missions resources through http://www.brigida.org/ and Doug Lucas which this story comes. Please have a read and thanks for praying and participating in missions.
"START TEN MISTAKES HIGH" -- This past Sunday, I was talking to a good friend who pilots his own biplane. We were talking about some recent tragedies at nearby air shows and I asked him if he was ever scared when flying "loop the loops" and other stunts. His answer? He quoted a highly-respected flying instructor who once told him to start every trick '10 mistakes high.' I'm sure I looked confused, because he went on to explain that if the trick required 100' vertical feet, the instructor wanted him to start it at 1000'. I thought about that for a long time afterward. I've concluded that missionaries are more like stunt pilots than trapeze artists. We don't really have the luxury of a safety net. But we *do* have a band of prayer warriors and supporters that can help us survive a long nose dive. For every difficult task we tackle, we need 10 supporters and prayer partners to make sure we can survive. It's up to each worker, individually, to gather enough supporters and friends to thereby construct an adequate "safety net." Only then can we be assured of surviving every mistake. So 'start ten mistakes high' and gather your prayer safety net today.
